The Military Museums Foundation has partnered with Air, Sea, and Army Cadets to create programs that target specific CCO learning objectives. Programs are available in person at the museums and virtually for groups visiting outside the Calgary area.
If you have any questions, please get in touch with [email protected].
Element Specific Programs
Element Specific Programs comprise an evening's worth of content. They begin with tours of the museums relevant to the particular element requested, including branch and related cadet histories. A lesson follows this in propaganda tactics using historical examples from the discussed branch. The program wraps up with a competitive round of trivia.
Please specify if you would like the Element Specific Program for Air, Sea, or Army Cadets.
General Cadet Programs
General Cadet Programs span approximately 30 minutes. Our cadet programs are designed to work best with three blocks selected.
Military Myth-Building: Learn the ropes of responsible citizenship by challenging national myths. This program discusses national myths, where they come from, and how they can be used and abused. The tales of Vimy Ridge and Juno Beach are used as case studies. Includes a source analysis-based closing activity.
Time to Explore: Looking for free time to explore the museums at your own pace? Our interpreters are happy to provide themed scavenger hunts to guide your exploration.
Artifact Handling: Get up close and personal with artifacts ranging from the Great War to the War in Afghanistan. Cadets will be instructed in proper artifact handling before engaging with familiar and mysterious items.
Interpreter's Choice Tour: Want to branch out beyond your element? Let our interpreters show you their favourite stops across our seven museums!
